seems very illogical to me.  In COS, after all the attacks, there's
all this tightened security, and no one's supposed to go anywhere
without a teacher.  But when Professor McGonagall sees Ron and Harry
sneaking off by themselves and they give her the story that they want
to see Hermione in the hospital wing, she tells them to go ahead and
go and let Madam Pomfrey know they have her permission.  She doesn't
offer to go with them or tell them off for going alone.  It just seems
illogical in light of the danger and the tightened security.

Carol responds:
What about the mixed classes like Potions and Herbology? Is Professor
Sprout supposed to escort the Hufflepuffs or the Gryffindors? That's
the only class they have together, so they'd have to be going
different directions. And, IIRC, there's a scene in which Snape
escorts the Gryffindors. What happened to the Slytherins? Did he leave
them on their own?
